Former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Garcelle Beauvais is revealing her conditions for a potential return to the show. She stated that one specific person would need to depart before she would consider coming back.
Beauvais, 58, named former co-star Erika Jayne, 54, as that individual. This revelation came during her appearance on the October 23 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
A member of the audience directly asked Garcelle if anyone’s exit from Beverly Hills would prompt her reconsideration. Garcelle responded with "Erika" without any hesitation.
Host Andy Cohen expressed surprise, asking, "Really?" Garcelle firmly affirmed her answer, stating, "I think so. Yes."
The two women have a history of public conflict on the Bravo reality series. Their tension escalated during the Season 14 reunion of RHOBH.
During the reunion, Erika commented that she wished Garcelle had been "more interesting." Garcelle quickly countered, calling it a "sh**ty comment."
Erika also referenced other cast members’ public divorces during the discussion. Garcelle noted that her own divorce from Mike Nilon was public but occurred before she joined the series.
Garcelle announced her departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in March. She left the show after five seasons. She cited a desire to spend more time with her family as a key reason for her exit.
Her twin sons, Jax and Jaid, recently celebrated their 18th birthday. Garcelle aims to be present for their final year of high school and Jaid’s new career path.
She also mentioned developing, producing, and starring in "very exciting projects." Beauvais expressed deep gratitude to her fans, adding that it was "not goodbye, it’s see you later."
Beauvais recently reflected on her life post-reality television. She shared an anecdote with Us Weekly about encountering RHOBH husbands PK Kemsley and Mauricio Umansky.
Kemsley inquired how she felt about life after the show on a scale of one to ten. Beauvais humorously responded "Thirty," indicating immense relief and happiness.
While her five years as a Housewife were "fun," Beauvais now appreciates having "a little bit of privacy."
In related casting news, Us Weekly reported in June that Rachel Zoe is expected to join the RHOBH cast for Season 15.
